The Block producer Watercress has lodged an application with Stonnington City Council to extend, reconfigure and renovate a rectangle-shaped, 1970's style, three-level block of flats it bought four months ago for $5.7 million. The Block is located at 27 Darling Street in South Yarra which will be transfomed into four north-facing townhouses – some able to enjoy city views from upper levels.

Darren and Deanne Jolly from former The Block: Glasshouse are back to challenge former fan favourites Bec and George Douros and Perth’s Kim Owen and Matt Di Costa for one spot for returning players in the 2015 competition.
Six teams of new players will contest a number of challenges, before being whittled down to a final three, who will then go on to renovate an apartment block in South Yarra, with the surviving fan favourite couple.
